Bed bugs have an extremely low tolerance for heat, making heat treatment the perfect non-toxic solution to exterminating them. Over-use of chemical pesticides has resulted in some insects building up a resistance to them, making them less effective than they once were. This cannot happen with thermal heat treatment.

Those Bugs Can't Hide From The Heat

Bed bugs can move quickly. When they sense a threat, it doesn’t take them long to run to a hiding place. That hiding place is usually deep inside wall voids, or deep inside a piece of furniture. But, before you move, and before you throw out your bed, couch, and other furniture, it is important to understand that a heat treatment will get into those hiding places. Heat radiates. There is no place those bugs can hide when an entire home is brought up to 120 °F.

Heat Brings Peace Of Mind

Many pest control measures can leave a false sense of security when it comes to fighting bed bugs. If you are lucky enough to have any effect on these pests, they may just find a place to lay low for awhile. In fact, bed bugs can go into hiding for months, without eating.

Bed bug heat treatment Buffalo and Its Effectiveness

So, when you suddenly start getting bit again, they could be from the same bed bugs that were plaguing you before. When you have a heat treatment, you don’t have to wonder if the treatments worked, because a heat treatment targets the entire home. You can know for sure that those bugs are dead.

Heat Kills Insecticide-Resistant Bed Bugs

When bed bugs develop, they shed their cuticle (skin) five times. If they are exposed to pesticides during this growth process, they can develop a cuticle that is more resistant to those pesticides. They can even have offspring that are more resistant. And, this can sometimes create issues when trying to eradicate these bugs with pesticides alone.

Since these are hitchhiking bugs, your bed bugs could have been exposed to pesticides somewhere else. If so, they could be even more difficult to get rid of than normal bed bugs.

Heat treatments kill pesticide-resistant bed bugs as easily as bed bugs that have no resistance at all. There is no such thing as a heat-resistant bed bug. All bed bugs die when they overheat.

Not only are heat treatments extremely effective at killing bed bugs, it is a process that is all natural. There are no leftover residuals, no release of gasses, and no impact on the ecosystem.

And, since you will only be gone from your home for a few hours, you won’t have to worry about spending money on a hotel.
